Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123
As soon as Sienna stepped outside, she ran into Nellic. Winona, and Zeke, who were coming back from the restaurant.
Nellie immediately recognized Sienna; she had invited her several times before to design custom dresses.
After all, anyone who wore Sienna’s dress was certain to gain the fashion industry’s attention.
Nellie wasn’t lacking money right now; what she needed was fame.
Sienna was preoccupied with thoughts of Nathan, and Nellie was in a bit of a daze. Without realizing it, they bumped into each other.
Only then did Sienna notice the three people in front of her.
She knew these three from before she went to Mysonna, especially Winona.
She and Winona were about the same age, and Winona was quite well-known among the prestigious families.
As for Zeke, he was a troublemaker who once tried to pursue her, and she had slapped him for that. He retaliated, and if she hadn’t left the country, he’d probably still be bothering her endlessly.
Nellie was about to start shouting, but when she saw it was Sienna, her expression changed instantly from anger to delight in just two seconds.
“Oh wow, isn’t this Ms. Sterling? Are you here to deliver a dress to Yvette?”
Nellie and Winona both hoped that Sienna would deny it. They held onto the slim chance that someone like Yvette wouldn’t. have Sienna deliver a dress in person.
Zeke narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at Sienna
Hearing her name, he finally recognized that she was the Sienna he failed to pursue a few years ago. How did she become
like this?
The Sienna from before was such a well-behaved girl, dressing very ladylike. How did her fashion sense become so wild
now?
He couldn’t help but sigh ar how the fashion industry could completely change a person.
Zeke couldn’t understand why so many people were crazy about the clothes designed by women like her.
It wasn’t until the next day, when Yvette showed up at the party wearing a custom dress made by Sienna that he realized what it meant to be truly breathtaking.
Sienna didn’t even look at the three of them, nor did she spare Nellie a friendly glance. She couldn’t be bothered with a bunch of schemers who harbored ill intentions toward her boss.
Sienna acted as if she hadn’t heard Nellie, walking right past her, Winona, and Zeke, and got into the car.
She started the sports car and zoomed away in an instant, leaving only exhaust fumes and the three of them standing there, stunned
Nellie didn’t care whether the housekeepers were watching or not. She hurled curses, completely lacking the poise of a
socialite
It took Winona and Zeke a while to calm Nellie down

Chapter 123
In the study. Zachary sat at the desk, lost in thought, his gaze sharp.
Lucas stood to the side, but this time he wasn’t as relaxed. His face was a bit tense.
“We can’t reach Fabian? His phone’s been off since noon?” Zachary asked.
Lucas nodded.
48
“Yes, sir. I’ve already investigated. Late at night, someone saw Fabian secretly take a call, then he kept tossing and turning in bed. According to his roommate, a driver, Fabian seemed unable to sleep and got up very early. I’ve had my blood tested and it confirms I’ve been drugged with sleeping pills. I’ve also checked Fabian’s luggage and documents, and they’ve all disappeared. Mr. Chambers, he must have left Seacrity by now, Lucas reported.
In just a few hours, Lucas had uncovered so much information, which was efficient.
Zachary wasn’t unreasonable, and much of his anger had dissipated.
Zachary reached into his drawer and took out a cigar, lit it, and took a puff.
It was clear someone was targeting Yvette. Besides his suspicions about Nellie, there was another person who seemed very suspicious, but Zachary didn’t want to think this way.
He’d rather believe it was Nellie plotting against Yvette than imagine it could be the kid he’d watched grow UP.
After a while, Zachary let out a barely audible sigh. “Forget it. Let’s end this investigation. There’s no need to dig further.”
Lucas had also figured it out. Clearly, it was someone from the house who did it.
Seeing that Zachary didn’t want to pursue it any longer, Lucas understood he must have realized who did it and said, “Okay,
Mr. Chambers.”
Zachary sat at the table smoking a cigar while Lucas silently stood beside him.
After Zachary finished his cigar, he looked up at the antique clock on the wall and realized it was already six in the evening “How’s the setup for tomorrow’s party? Has Mrs. Chambers shown any special interest in anything?”
Lucas shook his head, unsure why Zachary asked that, and wondered, “What did he mean by special interest?”
Lucas hadn’t attended today’s party, so he didn’t know what had happened.
He chose to leave with Yvette, knowing that based on how well Zachary knew Nellie, she definitely wouldn’t let it go easily. There was no telling what tricks she might pull to trouble Yvette.
Lucas carefully looked at Zachary’s expression and replied respectfully, “Mr. Chambers, the party arrangements have mostly been handled by Mrs. Chambers herself. I haven’t heard of any special plans.”
Zachary’s voice was cold. “Tomorrow at the party, you need to keep a close watch on her. If you notice anything unusual, tell me immediately.”
Lucas didn’t know why, but he would always listen to his boss.
Over the years, Lucas thrived in the Chambers family, and he became Zachary’s trusted confidant. This was not only due to his cleverness and attention to detail but also his unmatched loyalty.
“Yes, I understand. Don’t worry, tomorrow I’ll make sure to stay by Mrs. Chambers’ side, Lucas said.
Zachary closed his eyes, indicating he didn’t want to talk anymore, and waved his hand to signal Lucas to leave.
In the dark, Zachary’s presence appeared unusually lonely..

Chapter 123
Lucas quietly stepped back to the door and carefully closed it without making a sound.
He already sensed that tomorrow’s banquet might be chaotic. What happened today to make Zachary to become so wary of Nellie?
In the bedroom, Nellie stared blankly at herself in the mirror, lost in thought, until a sly grin suddenly spread across her face.
Then, she picked up her phone from the makeup table and sent a text message.
After getting a reply a few minutes later, she started talking to herself in the mirror. “Yvette, I’ll make sure you end up with nothing. I’ll ruin you completely. Hahaha!”
After Zeke and Winona escorted Nellie to her room, they returned to their own rooms without speaking to each other.
The carefully prepared dinner by the housekeeper was leff untouched. Zachary, Yvette, Nellie, Winona, and Zeke didn’t come down to eat.
After telling the housekeepers to clear the table, Lucas hesitated for a moment before deciding to go upstairs to brief Nellie on the details and issues regarding tomorrow’s banquet.
He had to.
Just as Lucas reached the bedroom door to knock, he heard an eerie laugh from inside.
The laugh startled Lucas, causing him to tremble slightly and freeze in place as he wondered; ‘Should I go in or not?
As he was caught in his dilemma, the door opened.
Nellie saw Lucas standing at the door and was surprised, and she gave him a somewhat unfriendly look. Her voice was eerie. “What are you doing here? What did you hear?”
